He makes jokes il is true, but they are

PRACTICAL POULTRY POINTS.

Do your hens lay, now?
In cold weather the drinking water
should be warmed.
Have window glass on the south side
of your poultry house. The more the bet
ter.
Clean poultry houses orce week, and
save the guano in a dry place. Poul.
try guano is one of the best fertilizers.
A good egg producing food is linseed
meal and corn meal in the proportion of
one quart of linseed to three quarts corn
meal made into a mush and fed while
warm.
If poultrymen would fumigate their
memories when the fowls are on the
roost, they would have less roup. A little
pine tar or hot Goals, say once or twice a
week, is all that is needed.
Many farmers who read about roup in
fowls do not understand what is meant
by it. 1t is in plain words, cold in the
head, acting much the same as distemper
in horses. 1t is caused by the fowls get
ting wet and also by being exposed to
draughts Of air while on the roost.

AN EXPFNSIYE BUSINESS.
A Discarded Lover Sues for the Money He Ex-
pended While Counting.
St Louis Republican.

pended While Counting.
St Louis Republican.
Oh aries Linesky, a society young man
of White Haven, is now the possessor of
much mangled heart, writes Wilkes
barre, Pa, correspondent of the st. Louis
Republican. A pretty girl broke
the organ for him, and he now
seeks damages to the amount of $4,000
from her well-to-do father.
The young lady's name is Laura LecAer.
Her father is prosperous merchant and
Laura is his only daughter, which makes
her heir to all her fathers wealth. Be-
sides possessing accomplishments of a
high order, she was not without many
suitors. Linesky, however, was consid-
cred best man at the Locker mansion.
He was very attentive TO the young lady,
taking her frequently TO the theater and
other places of amusements.
Linesky had a rival in the person of a
young man named Philips who left no
stone unturned to thrust the favorite suit
or from Miss Lockers attentions.tH His be-
ing possessed of more money than Lines
key placed him at a great advantage, in
that he could bestow more costly presents
on the idol at whose throne he was so anx-
ious to worship.
1t is presumed that the young lady
was placed in delicate position between
the two lovers and was at a great loss
to know which one she really loved the
most.
In the course of time third sutton APP
peared in the field TO share Lauras affec-
tions. His name was Harry Wilson. The
new lover succeeded i'll driving the old
ones from the Locker paIlor, and captiyi-
tate6 the maiden's heart beyond doubt.
The wedding was set and all the prepare
tions begun for the ceremony which
would make Laura Locker and Harry
| Wilson man and wife.
When the news of the engagement
reached Linesky he became very despon-
dent and to add to his distressed state OF
mind, his friends twitted him about get
| ting left" and allowing an ordinary man
| like Wilson to cut him out. He was wor'
! ried beyond endurance. He said he
wonid stand it no longer. He wanted sat
| isfaction, and he was going to have it
He accordingly brought suit as above
stated.
He says bad not Miss Locker deserted
hiri be could have married another young
| lady, who is now married woman anc
possessed of large amount of money
in her own name. He says that Mis-
Locker promised him faithfully that sh'
would become his wife, and with this un
derstanding he gave the young lady golt
watch as a Christmas present, and jewelr,
of various other kinds.
In this bill of particulars filed in tn,
| Justices Office, he says the claim for 81,
| 600 is not in lieu of broken heart, bu
to recover the amount of money actually
spent upon Miss Locker. He figures i
up this way:

POSTAGE STAMP COLLECTIONS,

The French Navy Possesses Library of the
Precious Triiles.
The American school boy that prides
himself on having the biggest collection
OF postage stamps in his native village,
town or county, will hear with envy that
the French navy department in Paris has
amassed not merely huge album, but a
gigantic library of such precious trilles.
IT is the largest collection IN the world.
This, of course, is public property.
The most valuable Of all private collec-
tions belongs 10 the Duchesse de Galliera,
of the same city. Up to the end OF the
year 1886, this family souvenir
had cost $500 900, or a million and n half
of francs. How much will
be spent on this costly luxury during the
ensuing year will depend on the combined
! influences OF the threatened eastern war,
the Italian cholera, the Panama canal,
and the Goblet ministry For II the
French republic goes TO the dogs, 1t
seems far to infer that this album, or
this series of albums, will share the same
| fate
| Meanwhile, the RSthscAilds, as a main
stay or safeguard OF their fortunes, have
a collection OF postage stamps valued at
q quarter OF a million francs, an asset
which might be used as collateral security
| il the great firm should ever have TO bor-
row cash from Jay Gould or the young
Vanderbilts. II these figures seem incred-

BismArck and IIls Bells.

Apropos of tie man of blood and iron
a characteristic anecdo;e is being told
Just now. When younger and less
known man he one autumn secured a
suite of rooms without first inspecting
them. On installing himself in them,
he ut once noticed that there was no
bel! in the apartment which he made
his study and work roor,l, and sending
for the landlord he asked him to supply

landlord. Herr Won Bismarck has al.

A Cute Picture.

We have before US a cute pict-
ure taken by Reery. The story
goes this way. A li,tle girl left
at home with her father, while
all OF the others of the family
were absent, took a stroll on the
boulevards. Passing Beery's, the
notion was to have a "picter
tncken." The child was in rag
ged, every day clothes. Her
cheeks had a smear of apple but
ter and her hair was all l3strubled
The thought of having a "plcter
tCcken," and mamma and sisters
not knowing ANYTHING about il
filled the child with fun, and as
her eyes were dancing and her
lips ready 10 break in a laugh at
the "secret," the "picture was
taken."' Mr.. Beery is an artist.
and takes pictures true to nature.
Shows the child, not ITS clothes.

tracted much attention and ad

No Monument to ResuIus.

We have just learned that there is no
monument to Regulus. Why has this
thing been neglected so long? Moro
than two thousand years have passed
since he performed one of the most un-
selfish actions ever recorded. Regulus
was Roman general in the war agains:
the Carthagenians. Being de:oated and
made prisoner, he was Kept in prison
five years Then reverses caused his
captors to desire peace. Tic Roman
general was released on parole and
sent to Rome with the Punic envoys.
Regulus proved himselfa a rcgt,lar brick
on this occasion. Regardless of what
nigh. happen to himself he advised the
Roman senate not TO make peace with
Carthage. He said if they continued to
fight it out on that line Carthage was
bound to fall. He was not even in
favor of an exchange of prisoners. His
advice being adopted, Regulus went
back to Carthage with the ambassadors
by the next train and was promptly
put to death. And yet Rcgulus has no
monument. Who will be the first to
subscribe TO Regu.us mo uurlcnt fuude
